"Major news publications around the world are rife lately with articles noting how the decline in birth rates has reached a critical mass. Over the past years, life expectancy has increased – particularly in advanced industrial countries – just not enough to cover the shortfall of new humans. And though there are higher numbers of elderly virtually everywhere, the numbers don’t specifically account for those incapacitated, and thus rendered unproductive, by old age. Caring for the elderly will suck up a significant portion of the younger population’s time and energy unless a radical shift takes place in medicine." George Friedman (Geopolitical Futures)
"Não convém aos reis beber vinho, nem aos governantes as bebidas alcoólicas. Eles bebem, se esquecem da Lei e pervertem o direito. ... Fale pelo mudo e defenda os desfavorecidos. Dê sentenças justas, defenda o pobre e o indigente." Provérbios 31, 4-5; 8-9. "Quando o povo é educado, as diferenças de classe desaparecem." Confúncio (551-479 a.C.), pensador e filósofo chinês.
